I see your ZWOASI2600MC works without any special adapters which is great - I am wondering if an entry-level ZWO like ASI120MC-S would work as well. I've love to go with one of those newts but it'd be a pity if basic imaging was not possible out-of-the-box.

Sorry but who ever you spoke to at Bintel ( obviously not Don ) is totally wrong. They are probably reading off their website information on these scopes which mentions they are visual scopes and not really meant for DSO imaging, but I’ve imaged so many DSO’s with these scopes I’ve lost count , in fact I won Bintel image of the month in October 2019
My 6” f5 and 6” f6 newt reach focus with both DSLR and OSC ( APS-C sensors )
Here’s some images with my 6” f6 newt using both DSLR and cooled OSC camera captured from Sydney Bortle 8 horrible light polluted skies
Cheers
